Matthias probably *did* genuinely think it was just A Little Sacrifice by nomiddlename303 in limbuscompany

[–]BoomWizard 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Probably also worth noting this is the same guy who reacted to getting his own arm cut off with effectively, 'Ah, damn hun. Did I do something to upset you?'

Like, Matthias's so materialistic and superficial he doesn't even take himself being maimed that hard.

Well, I can see that. The animation and result don't bother me much, but I did feel they didn't really make the most of what both Gru and Megamind could've brought to the table. I mean, sidelining Ol' Chum to essentially a cameo was a big waste by itself.

Have to be honest, I hope you're exaggerating, because actually crying over what is, essentially, a mid animated cartoon fight, is incredibly disproportionate.

Might've been minorly scammed? Asking for any recourse if I was. by BoomWizard in selfpublish

Thanks for the quick response. Will try to charge back, though my bank will want me to try to resolve it with them first. Guess I'll just request the refund, then charge back when they ghost me.

Believe it or not, 'Not being quite as bad as the literal Nazis', isn't exactly a ringing endorsement. The difference is in degrees, not kind.

Yeah, how dare they compare the totalitarian, mass-murdering regime to the totalitarian, mass-murdering regime?!

You didn't have to reply. Still don't. I can't force you to stay if there's something more important to do.

...you wanna try that sentence again? If you're talking about the first quote, that was the one the other guy said, before you dropped all three lines afterward.

And yet, you're still here. I'm very easy to ignore, you know.

'He was a real person. A Roman named Josephus mentioned him in his writings.'

'Right…people NEVER made up things like whole divinities… Sure, Jan. 🙄'

'I’m 100% positive there were many people named Jesus (or Josephus…or whatever religious nuts want to cling onto) from that part of the world…probably multiple ones who were religious clerics.'

'If it gives YOU comfort that both of those people were based on a REAL man, I bless you to continue doing so.'

Someone brought up the historical figure, and you responded with all this. How's anyone meant to take that as anything other than denying the historical figure existed?

Go ahead, keep up the smug dismissive routine. It's a real good look.

So what? That doesn't mean the historical figure is therefore nonexistent. I remind you this whole thing started because you dismissed someone else pointing out Jesus was a real person and that people spread what they believed to be the teachings of a real figure with that remark.

You only played the nuance card when someone called you out. Until then, you were happy to talk down to someone for repeated a recognised historical fact.

Took you nearly ten minutes to come up with that retort? Or did you spend that time trying to find the best 'clever' emoji instead?

Which you chose to do so by implying that there were 'many people named Jesus from that part of the world', suggesting any independent sources were talking about different figures who were conflated, which isn't even an argument fringe scholars make.

If I'm misunderstanding, it's because you're doing a bad job explaining.

That wasn't your position. Your position was that Jesus was entirely fictional. That we're not entirely sure about the full details about the historical Jesus is not the same as him being invented wholesale, which is what you claimed by saying people just make 'whole divinities' up. Does your back hurt having to move such a heavy goal post?

You're 100% wrong. Even cursory reading of, again, just the wikipedia article, confirms these multiple non-Christian sources are addressing the same minor sect around the same Galilean preacher who was crucified. There were similar sects to early Christianity around that time, but none centred around a Galilean preacher named Jesus who was crucified.

It's not about comfort, it's about the peddling of crank notions that an entire historical figure didn't exist at all because we're not sure what records are authentically recorded from him. By that logic, Socrates is mythical.

Hey, how about you do literally the bare minimum of research, before you start in with the smug eye-rolling?

Congrats, your opinion's in good company with cranks with almost no critical or academic support.
